Send us a textWhat if the moment you were most judged for was the beginning of your freedom? In this unfiltered and soul-stirring episode, host Andrea Atherton is joined by spiritual intuitive and truth-speaker Michelle Ella Powell for a courageous conversation about healing that doesn't fit the mold. Together, they explore the sacred unraveling that begins when we choose ourselves—even when the world tells us we're wrong—and how pleasure, truth, and embodiment can lead us home to the life we were born to live.Michelle opens up about surviving a decade-long, toxic, and emotionally abusive marriage to a sociopathic narcissist. This relationship left her disconnected from her truth, her power, and her body. But it was an affair — one that involved BDSM — that became the spark of her liberation. Far from being a source of shame, this relationship cracked her open, allowing her to reclaim her voice, her sensuality, and her right to safety and pleasure. Through BDSM, Michelle found a path to healing that honored her boundaries, restored her sense of sovereignty, and reawakened her spirit in ways traditional healing paths could not.Now married to the love of her life, Jesse, and mothering two spirited boys, Michelle continues to walk the path of radical authenticity and conscious connection. She and Andrea speak openly about love's complexities, separation and reunion cycles, and the holy work of becoming. This episode is a reclamation song for anyone who's ever been told their healing was wrong, messy, or too much — a reminder that the path to freedom is often wild, but always sacred.Michelle Ella PowellWebsite: https://awkwardsinner.comSocial media links: https://www.facebook.com/share/18zUBnXJ1v/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.instagram.com/awkwardsinnerigsh=MXh2MHV3ZnNycWtlbw%3D%3D&utm_source=qrhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theawkwardsinner?_t=ZT-8uXgQmbKjgU&_r=130-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

This is a conversation I had on A Date With The Divine with Isabelle Stephan—and I knew immediately I needed to share it with all of you here on Dom Sub Devotion as a bonus episode. It was one of the most potent, grounded, and heartfelt conversations I've had on love, polarity, Dominance, and the deeper spiritual truths that live underneath our dynamics. I didn't want you to miss it. In this episode, Isabelle and I explore: • What it actually means to live in polarity in a long-term relationship • How my wife Dawn and I transformed our marriage through embodying Dominance and surrender • The emotional truth underneath a woman's “too much” and a man's “not enough” • Why most men fear a woman's full emotional range—and how to become the kind of man who can hold all of her without collapse • What everyday masculine leadership looks like—from structure to sexuality to sensitivity • Why feminine surrender doesn't happen through force, but through deep trust in his strength • The truth about polarity: it's not something you try to “do,” it's what naturally arises when you let go of what's in the way • And how all of this is not just about relationship—but about meeting God, not through light and ease, but through destruction, healing, and the fire of full embodiment This isn't a theoretical conversation. It's real, raw, and personal. I speak directly from my lived experience as a man, a Dominant, and a husband walking the path of total devotion and truth. I'm honored to bring this episode to you. May it move something in you the way it moved something in us. — Andrew

In this episode of Dom Sub Devotion, Andrew sits down with Nadia Munla, an embodiment and intimacy coach, to discuss the intricate dynamics of Dom/sub dynamics, especially as they relate to women in their feminine energy.. Nadia shares insights from her 11+ years of coaching, emphasizing the importance of deep intimacy, self-awareness, and the transformational power of embodiment practices. The conversation explores how women can transition from people-pleasing behaviors to genuine submission, the interplay of masculine and feminine energies, and practical steps men can take to lead effectively in relationships. Nadia also touches on the societal challenges both men and women face in embracing their true desires and roles within power exchange dynamics. ~~~ About Nadia Nadia is an Embodiment & Intimacy Coach who helps leaders become better lovers and guides people into a deeper level of embodied expression.

Episode 72: Why Dawn is pulling back from Dom Sub Devotion Lots of tears in this episode. But make no mistake, this is a celebration. A few weeks ago, I had a massive realization. I had still been living so much of my life as an absolute lie. Sitting down with Sir over breakfast, I was feeling pretty agitated, and as he always does, he encouraged me to just open up and let it out. And what I said next changed my life. “I am not here to help people.” I didn't intend to say those words when I opened my mouth. But when they came out, my whole body breathed a sigh of relief. It was like I had finally spoken up for the biggest lie of all. That I had to use my experiences to help other people in order to be a good person. In that moment, I realized that I had gone through my whole life living for everyone else. Never just letting myself be good enough for myself, just as I am. Never able to just enjoy my own life for my sake. It was always about someone else. Helping someone. Giving to someone. Sharing for someone. And it became obvious pretty quickly that I couldn't continue doing this podcast in the same way. Because while I absolutely love that my experiences have been helpful for so many of you, I've been so wrapped up in talking about how I got here that I haven't really let myself just enjoy this life that I'm so fucking grateful to be living. Every time I sit down and talk about how religion affected me, about how I used to show up, about all of the fears I've let go of, all of the pain I've overcome, how controlling and tense and stressed I used to be… Those things are all getting dragged back out of the past and into the present. They're still in control of my experience, because I'm constantly reflecting on them. I am not that woman anymore. I have come so fully into my body, my life, and my truth. And all of that stuff from my past needs to be left in the past. I finally saw how deeply that was affecting all of those moments of my life outside of this podcast and business. I'm here to live my own life, and living it is what I intend to do. So this isn't goodbye forever, but it is goodbye for now. Andrew will continue with the podcast, and it'll continue to be great. He'll keep everyone updated on our life, our dynamic, and how I'm doing. He'll also be bringing on guests and diving even deeper into D/s dynamics. And when you do see me again in the future, I'll be bringing more of my true self. I've shared everything I have to share about what it's taken to be here, now it's time for me to go enjoy it. Thanks for having me as a part of your lives.

Click here to learn more about Rapture. https://infinitedevotion.com/rapture We begin on January 16th, 2025, so don't wait! Episode 69: Six Years in a 24/7 Dom/sub marriage In this episode, we reflect on six years since the beginning of our Dom/sub dynamic. When we began this journey together, we were already 8 years deep into a very vanilla, and very unconscious relationship. And the process of integrating power exchange dynamics into our marriage has made every part of our relationship better. We had to learn new skills. Unlearn old ways of connecting and experiencing intimacy, and find a deeper, more honest, transparent way of relating each other in order to make D/s work. We've experienced such drastic improvements in every part of our relationship as a Dom/sub couple, compared to our relationship as it was before. Power exchange, and Dominance and submission, have led to better communication, relationships with ourselves, ability to speak up and express our true desires with each other, brought us closer together, reignited our sex life, more respect for ourselves and each other, healing from past traumas, and so much more. Tune into this episode and witness how these power exchange dynamics have improved a marriage and brought us to new levels of intimacy, passion, and connection, even after 14 years of marriage and commitment.

This will only be available until the end of December, but you can check it out at https://infinitedevotion.printful.me! Episode 64:Embracing the Unknown: Nomadic life and our Dom/sub dynamic Welcome back, Devoted ones! We recorded this episode about three weeks after leaving home to become full time nomads, living on the road in our RV and traveling the country. This nomadic life is something we've looked forward to for many years, but the actual process of leaving the only place Dawn has ever called home has been an intense one, to say the least. Up until now, she's never lived more than 20 minutes from the place where she grew up, and there are many generations before her who have almost all stayed very close to home. So this uprooting was an even bigger deal than either of us could have anticipated. This episode discusses what some of that process has been like for her, and how our Dom/sub dynamic has given her the space to let go of what was, so that she can embrace more of herself. We lean pretty heavily into the concepts from Don Miguel Ruiz's book “The Four Agreements” in this discussion, and if you haven't read it, we highly recommend it!

Free gift: 7 Tips for a Rock Solid Dom/sub dynamic. Click here: https://infinitedevotion.com/7-tips ~~~~~~~ Welcome back, Devoted Ones! In this episode, Dawn and I dive into codependency and how it can infect, and ultimately cause harm to our relationship. We share stories of how we've shown up in codependent patterns in the past and what it's taken to overcome them, and why we have to detach in order to experience the fullness of love and intensity in our Dom/sub relationship. We also discuss the place that individuality and personal agency play in a deep, loving, spiritually connected union. In other words, how do we manage the fact that we're separate people, but also desiring to experience the fullness of union, becoming one with each other. This episode will be invaluable to any couple wanting to explore D/s together without losing yourselves, and in a way that honors both your individuality and your oneness.
